Discreet Test

EasyDNA offer a full range of forensic testing services. Below are the most common samples we test and the list includes the success rate, price as well as packaging information for each sample. Please note these prices are an add-on to the test you order.

Postal and Delivery times are constantly changing. Whilst every effort is made to reduce time where possible this cannot always be achieved due to actions outside our control. The times quoted are from the time the final sample is received.

Please note that prepaid return postage is not included.

Using forensic samples

Through our state-of-the-art DNA forensic laboratory, EasyDNA provides an alternative way to complete your testing requirements. Through our extensive forensic DNA expertise, EasyDNA is able to analyse a wide range of discreet samples ranging from hair DNA testing, cigarette butts, toothbrushes to more difficult samples such as bone. Once the DNA extraction is completed and sufficient DNA is obtained from the sample, the DNA testing process is the same as when the normal oral swabs are used.

Forensic DNA testing can therefore be utilized for our complete range of New Zealand DNA tests, including the home DNA paternity test, but is not normally applicable for legal DNA testing requirements unless the chain of custody sample collection is followed and the source of the DNA is officially confirmed.

Please review below our comprehensive list of samples to obtain more information about the samples you want to submit, the additional costs involved and the DNA extraction success rate per sample. Also review the conditions for submitting a discrete DNA sample.

Please read the terms and conditions below:

Note: We can only guarantee standard result turnaround time when testing takes place solely using oral swab samples. Using a discreet sample for your test may lead to an increase in turnaround time.

IMPORTANT

In accordance with New Zealand’s Human Tissue Act 2008, DNA testing using discreet or non-standard samples (such as hair, toothbrushes, or clothing) CANNOT be performed without the explicit consent of the individual from whom the sample originates.

For minors, consent must be provided by a parent or legal guardian with parental responsibility. In some cases, if the minor is deemed mature enough to understand the nature and implications of the testing, they may be able to provide their own consent.

Unauthorised testing may breach the Human Tissue Act 2008, Privacy Act 2020, and other relevant laws, and could result in legal consequences.
